if xfce is what you want, try a custom install (using dvd1) and just pick xfce instead of the gnome default during tasksel. you will get a few desktop applications like libreoffice and firefox esr, but those are easily removed if you don’t want or want to replace them. using dvd1 as my install source, wired and wireless drivers were set up during install, were available during install, and were ready to go on first boot to xfce (on an am3 pavilion desktop test system).

i’d imagine your phone carrier still knows where you are when you use wifi calling… especially if that wifi’s internet source is a wireline isp or a known wifi-based network or hotspot.

multiplan: “was i nothing to you?”

the potential liability exceeds the value of what they’re searching for.

kinda funny, though… the functionality has been there for awhile. just flying under the radar with a less-noticeable icon.

i’m gonna go with china, russia, or ‘middle eastern’ (of some sort), butthurt over availability of certain user-uploaded content.
